llllPOJl'tll.&NT.
Rrcn.,RD left us on the very next evening, lo begin his new career, and oommilwd Adn lo my charge with great love for her, and grc,,t trust iu me. It touched me then to reOecl, aml it touches me now, more ncarlr, to remember (ba"ing what I hn"e to tell) how they both thought of me, even at thnt engrossing time. I was a part of all their plans, for the present and the future. I was to write lo Richard once a week, making my faithful report of Ada who was lo write lo him every al!ernnte day. l was to be infomted, under his own hand, of nil his labors ancl successes; l was to observe how resolute and pcrse\'ering he would be; I was to be Ada's bridesmaid when they were married; I was to li\'C -with them atwrwards; I was lo keep all the keys of their house; I was to lie made happy for ever nnd n day.
"And if the smt IJ!,ou«t make us rich, Esther- which it may, you know I" said ]lichard, lo crown all.
A shade crossed Ado's face. "1\f)' dearest i.\dn," asked Ricl,nrd., pausing, ""1hy not? 0
,
"It bad belier declare us poor nt once," said Ada. 0 0 ! I don ·t kno,v about thal/ 1 returned niehord; "but) at nll even.ts, it
won't dcclnrc 011ytlri11g at once. it hnsn't cleclarcd anything i11 Hcn\'Cll kno,vs ho,,· iunny years."
",.l'oo tnic,,, saicl Acln. "Yes, but," urged Jlichord, answering wlint her look su~esled rnlhe1·
tha11 her ,vords, "the longer it. goes on, dear cousin) the nea.rcr it. 1nust. be ton sefllcment one WO)' or other. Now, is not that rcMonoble?"
"You know best, llicbard. Jlut I om afraid if we trnst to it, it will make u.s unhappy."
"Jlut, my Adn, we nre not going lo trust to it! " cried Richard gnily. "We know it better than to trust to it. We only say that if it ,ko11ltt moke ns rich, we hn1•e no oonslitulionnl objection to being rich. '£he Court is, 1,y solemn seltlemcnt of low, ou.r ~1 old gunrdinn, nnd we are to suppose 'that what it gives us (when it gives us a11ytl1i11g) is our right. H is not necessary to quarrel with our right."
"No," s.lid :\du," "but it 1nny be better to forget all nboui it." "Well, well!" cried Ricl,ard, "then we wiU forget oU obonl it l "\Ye
consign tl1e whole thing to oblivion. Dome Dmden puts on her oppro•ing ft-'1.cc, and it's (lone! "
"Dome Durdcn's oppro"ing fnec," sni<l I, lookittg out of the box in wlriell I was paelw,g his books, "was not very visible when you caUed it by thnt name; but it docs approve, and she tlunks you can't do helter."
So, Jlichard said there wns on end of it,-nnd immediately begn}t, 011 110 otl,c.r foundation, to build ns many castles in Ilic air ns would mnn the i,.-rent wnU of China. He went awuy in high spirits. Ada rutd I, prepared to miss him ,·cry much, commenced our quieter rarecr.
130 BI;EA.K HOUSE.
On our arrh·al in London, we had called wilh lir . Jnntdycc at Mrs. Jcllyby's, but had not. been so fortunate as to ftnd her ot home. It npJlJl,>rcd thot she hnd gone somewhere, to n tea-drinking, ond J,od taken iiiss Jcllyby with her. :Besides the tea-drinking, there was to be ,some eonsideroble speeeh-mnking nnd Jetter-writing on lbc general mcrils of lhe cultivation of coffee, ·conjointly with nnlivcs, nt the Settlement of Dorriobooln Oho. All lhis involved, no doubt,, sufficient active exercise of pen and ink, lo mnke her dDllghlcr's part il.1 the proeecdh,gs, onytbing but n holidav. ' ·
H being, now, beyond the time appointed ror Mrs. Jcllyby's return, we ealled ngoin. She wns in town, but 11ot al home, having gone to ~lile End, direelly ofter brenkfnst, on some llorrioboolan business, nrising out of • Society called the Ea.st London Bmnch Aid Ra1nification. :\s I hod not seen l'eepy on the occasion of Olli' lost call (ll'hCn ho wns not lo be found onywbere, and "·hen the cock rlllher U,ought he must have atrollc<l away with the dustman's rort), I no"· enquired for him llgnin. Tho O)'Ster shells he ho<l been building a house with, were still in tho p&SS<lge, but he was nowhere disoovcrnble, und tho cock snpposed lhnl he had "gone after the sheep." '\\1,cn we repented, " 'itlt some surp1ise, "The sheep?" she '"1id, 0 yes, on mnl'ket days ho sometimes follo"·ed them quite out of t.Q"-n, and cnnlc hank in such a state as ne\·er ,vns I
I was sitting al the window with my Gun,'<lian, on the following 1norning, nncl Adn \\1as busy writing-of co~u·sc to Richnrd-,vhen :arw Jcllyby 11·os announce<), amt entered, leading the identical Peepy, whom she hod mtldc some endca,·ours to render presentable, by wiping tho dirt into oomers of his face and hands, and making hfa huir ,·ory wet and then Yioknlly fri~zling it "ilh her fingers. 'Everything the dear child ,vote, "'ns either too large ror hi1n or too sm3U. Among his other contmdictory deeomtions he had the hot of a Bishop, and the Jitttc gloves of a baby. His boots were, on a small scale, the boots or o ploughman : while his legs, so crosse<l and recrossed with scratches that lb•)' looked like mnps, were bare, below II very short p:iir of p"•id dmwers finished off with l11•0 frills of perreelly clifferent patterns. Tbcdcficicnt buttons on his plaid frock bad 01·idently been supplied from one of Mr. Jcllyby's oonts, they were so extremely brazen and ,so much too Jorge. Most extraordinary s1tecitnens of needlework appeared on several ports of his clress, where it had been hnstily mcndod : and r recognised the sa!lle bond on Miss Jcllyby's. She was, howc,•er, unaccountably improved in her appearance, and looked ,·ery pretty. She was conscious of poor little Peepy being but " foiluro aft.er all her trouble, 01ul sho showed it ns she came iu, by lhe wny :in which sbe glanced, li ... t ft him and then ot us.
" 0 denr n1c 1" soicl 1ny Gnardion, 0 Due EasL ! ' Ad• •nd J gave her n cordinl weloome, nud pr~nted her to )Ir.

"Thank you," soid my Gunrdion. "I nm nmch obli~ w ?,fr,;, .Jc11yby. 0 dear rno ! This is ~ '\~ery t'rying ,.,ind! "
DU:AK l! OUS.E, 131
We were busy with Peepy; Inking olT hi• clerical hat; asking him ir he remernbcre<l 11s; and so on. Peepy retired behind his elbow nl first, bu,t relented at tho sight of sponge-coke, and allow1id me lo take him on my lnp, where he sat 1nuncl1ing ~uietly. Mr. Jnrndyce then withdrawing into the wmpon,.ry Gro,\"lery, M1ss Jcllyby opene<l a co1wcrsaUon with her usunl abruptness.
" ,vc nrc going on just as bad as ever in Tbavies Inn," snid she.. "I ha.10 no peace of my lifo. Talk of Africa ! I couldn't be worae olT if I ,vas a n1hnt.'s-lris-n.an1e-m.an nnd a brother l "
I tried to say something soothing. " 0, it's of no use, Miss Summerson," exclaimed i\iiss J ellyby,
"though ( lhonk you for the kind intention oil tho same. l know how I nm used, and I om no~ to be talked o,•er. l"ou wouldn't be talked Ol"Cr, if you were used so. Peepy, go and ploy at Wild l3ca.,ts under the piano I,.
" .I shan't I" snid Peepy. "Very well, you ungrateful, nnught-y, hard-l1e-ruted boy! " returned
Miss Jellyby, 11ith t,,ars in h,er eyes. "l'U ncl"er take pains to dteSS you any more."
" Yu, J will go, Caddy l " cried Peepy, who wns really • good cl1ild, and wbo.wns so mo,·cd by his sister's vexntion tilat he ,vent ot once.
"IL seems a litlle thing to cry about," sai<l poor Miss Jellyby, apologetically, " but l am quite worn out. I was dirooting the new circnlats till two this morning. l detest the whole tl1ing so, that that alone makes my head acbe till I can't see out of my eyes. And look at that poor unforlnnate child. Wns tl1ere ever such a fngl,t as be is!"
Poopy, happily unconscious of the defects in his •ppcamnce, sat on the carpel behind one of the legs of th.c piano, looking calmly out of his den at 110, while he ate h.is coke.
" I ha,·e sent him to the other end of the room," observed ~tiss Jellyby, dmn•ing her chnir nearer ours, ,c because I don't "·ant hint to hear the conversation. 'l'hose little things are so sharp I I was going to soy, ,ve really are going on ,vorse thnn ev-er. Pa ,vill be n bnnkrupt before long, and then I hope Ma will be satisfied. 'fbcre'U be nobod1 but hfa to thank for it."
We said we hoped l\[r. Jcllyby's aO'air>) were not in so bad a stnto :u, that.
" It:s of no use hoping, though it's very kind of you I " returned Miss Jcllyby, shaking her head. " Po told me, only yesterday morning, (and dreadfully unhngpy lie is) tho!. he couldn't weather the storm. I shoul<I be SlLrprised 11 ho could. \Yllen nil our trndesnien send into our house any stuff they like, and the servants do whnt they like with H, and I have no time to improve things if I knew holl', and ;\fo don't care nbout 011vLl1iog, I should like to mnke out how J?n ;, 10 we.,tl,cr the storm.

w-retehedncss. His scrambling home, from week's-end to week's-end, is like one greot wnshlng-dny-only nothing's washed I ''
Miss JeUyby topped her foot upon the floor, and wiped her eyes. "I am sure I pity Pn to that degree," sho said, "and am so ong,y
witli Ma, that I can't find words to express myself l However, I am not goinw to bear it, I am determined.. I won't be a slave all my life, nnd "r won't submit to be proposed to by )fr. Qunle. A pretty thing, indeed, to marry n Philontbrop1st. A.s if I hadn't hnd enough of /Jud!" sai<I poor Miss Jellyby.
I must confess that I could not help feeling rather angry with Mrs. Jellyby, myself; seeing and hearing this neglected girl, nnd°k;',owiog how much of bitterly satiricol troth there wns in what she said.
" JI it wasn't that we hatl been intimate when you stopped at our house,'' pursue<l Miss Jellyby, " I should ba,•e been ashamed to come l1erc to-day, for I know what a figure I must seem to you two. llut, as it is, I made up my mind to coll: especiolly as I am not likely to see you ngnin, the next time you come to town. 0
She said U1i$ with such great significance that Atla and J glanced at one nnotbcr, foreseeing something more.
"No!" said Miss Jellyby, shaking her bend. "Not nt nll likely! I Jmow I nrny trust you two. I run s1,re you won't betray me. I am engaged."
" Without their knowledge at home?" Mid J. '~ ~Yhy, good grncious me:, Miss Sumn1erson/t sl1c .re.turned, justi(ving
l1crselr in a fretful but not angry mru.mer, "how can it be other,vise? Yon know what Ma is-and I needn't make poor Pa more miserable by tellin" ki,n."
" But would it not he nd<ling to his 1mhappiness, to marry "1thout bis knowledge or consent, my dear?" said I.
"No,'' sai<l Miss .TeUyby, sofwning. "I hope not. I should try to lllake him happy and comfortable when he come to see me; and Peepy nnd the others should tnke it in turns to come nnd stay with me; and they should have some col'e taken of them, then."
'!'here was a good deal of affection in poor Ca<ldy. She softened more nnd more wliile s.,ying this, and cried so much over the unwonted little home-picture she hnd raised in her min<l, that Peepy, in bis cove under tl1e piano, was touched, and turned himself over ou his back "1th lou<l lnment.,tions. It was not until I hod brot1ght him to kiss his sister, and had restored him to his pince in my lnp, and had sh.ewn him that Caddy wns laughing (she Jnughe<I expressly for the purpose), that we could recal hi$ peace or mind ; even tl,en, it was for some time condilionnl on 1,is Ulking us in turns by the chin, an<l smoothing our faces all over \\•itb bis hnnd. At last, as his SJ>irit.s were not yet equol lo the pfon.o, we put him on a cl,air to look out of window; and 1!iss Jellyby, holding him by one leg, resumed her confidence.
cc It. began in your coining to our house/' she saitl. We nntumlly nsked how? " T felt I was so awkward," she replied, "thnt I mn<le up my mind to
be improved in thnt respect, at all events, and to learn to dance. I told Mn I wos nshnmed of myself, ond I must be tau~ht to dnnoo. Ma looked nt iue in that provoking way of hero ns if I w~'t in sight ; but, I was

quite determine<! to be faught Lo danoo, nnd so I went to Mr. Turveyd.-op 's Academy in Newman Street.
" And wns it there, my dear --" I begnn. "Yes, it was there," said Cnddy, "nnd I nm engn~ to Mr. Turveydrop.
There are two Mr. Turveydrops, father and son. ro.y Mr. 'l'urveydrop is the son, of course. I only "~sh I hnd been better brought up, nnd wns likely to nrnke him a better wife; for I nm very fond of him."
"I am sorry to heat this," said I, 0 I must conrcss." "I don't know why you should be sorry," site retorted a little
anxiously, "but I nm engard to Mr. 'furveydrop, whether or no, and he is very fond of me. lt s a secret as yet, even 011 bis side, because old Mr. 'l.'urveydrop has o share in the connexion, and it might break his heart, or gh1e him some other shock, if he was told of it abruptly. Old Mr. 'l.\irveydrop is a very gentlemanly mnn iudeed-very gentlemanly."
"Does his wife know of it?" nsked A<ln. " Old Mr. Tur\'eydJ.'Op's wife, ?.(iss Clare?" returned Miss Jellyby,
opening: her eyes. "There's no such pcnon. He is n ,vidon•er.,, We were here interrupted by Peepy, whose leg h•<l undergone so much
on •ooount of his sister's unconsciously jerking it like a bell-rope whenever she wns emphatic, that the nfilieled child now bemoane,1 his snffcrings with a very low-spirited noise. As he nJ>pcnled to me for compassion, and ns 1 was only n listener, l undertook to hold him. Miss Jellyby procoodcd, nfwr begging Poopy's pardon with n kiss, and assuring him that she hndn'L meant to ilo it.
"'!'hat's the stale or the case," snid Cnddy. "If lever blame myself, I ,till think Ws )fa's fonlt. We are to be mnr-ricd whenever we eon, nnd then I shall :;o to l'a at the offioo and write to Ma. lt won't mucl, ngitnte Mn: I om o,uy pen and ink to her. 011e great comfort is," snid Caddy, with a sob, "that I shall nerer hear of Afrie3 ofter I nm mo>Tie<I. Young Mr. 'l'urveydrop bales it for my sake; nnd if oltl )(r . Turvcydrop knows there is such a plaee, it's as much as he does."
" It wns he who was vci;• gcutlemnnly, I think?" said I. "Very gentlcmnnly, indeed," snid Cnddy. "lie is celebrated, almost
cvcl)l'\\'be.re, for his Deportment.'' "Docs he teach ?" asked Adn. "No, he don't teach nnsthing in pnrticulnr," replied Caddy. "l3ut
his Deportment is benutiftd." Caddy went on to sny, with considerable hesitation nnd l'Cluctnnoo, thot
there wns one thing more she wished us t.o know, and (elt we ought to know, nnd which she hoped would not offend us. Jt wns, that she land impro,•cd her acquainfanoo with Miss Flifo, the little crnzy old lady; nnd thnt she frequently went there enrly in the morning, nnd met her lover for a few minutes before breakfast-only for n few minutes. "i go there, at other times," said Caddy, "but Prince does not come then. Young )fr. 'l\lrveydrop's nrune is Prince; I wish iL ,,·asrt't, because it SO\lnds like n dog, but of course he didn't christlm himself. Old Mr. '1\irveydrop had him cliristened Prince, in remembrnnoo of the Prince :Regent. Old Mr. 'l\irl'eydrop adore<! the Prince ltegent on aooount of l1is Deportment. I hope yon won't think the worse of me for having rnnde these little appointments nt Miss Flite's, where I first went with yon; beean>e I like the poor thing for her own sake nnd I believe she li'kcs

I couldn't ask you to go with me, lliss Summerson; but if you would," .,,jd Caddy. who had said all this, earnestly and tremblingly, " I should be very glndvcry glad."
IL hnppcneil that we bad orrongod with my Gt.:i,dian lo go to )fiss Flilc's that day. We had told him of our fo11tucr ,·isit, n,ld ow· nooount l1nd iniercsted lum; but something had always h;ipp<ined lo prc,·cut our !!'Oing there again. As I lnistcd tbat I might bavc sullicient i.nfiucncc wiU, hfos Jcllyby to prevent her toking any very i:nsh step, if I fully accepwd the oonlidence she was so willing to pince in inc, poor girl, I prop<>$ed that she and I and Pecpv sboultl go to the ,\cndemy, and nfterwards meet my guardian and ;\do at Miss Fliw's- wbosc 11:une l now learnt for the first time. '11,is was on condition that }(iss Jcllyby and Peepy shollld come back with us to dinner. The last _orlicle or the ogrcement !icing joyfully acceded to by both, we smartened Peepy up 11 litUe, witlt tl,e nssistanee or II few pu1s, son,e soap and water, nnd n hairbrush ; an<l went out : bending our steps towards Newmon Street, which "'as very near.

I felt. curious t.o kno"' 1norc, concerning t.bis person. I asked, "Docs he gi\•e lessons in Deportmoo1t, non'?"
" Now I" returned the old Indy, shortly. " Never did." Afier n momenfs considernlion, 1 suggested that perhaps fencing hau
been bis nccomplishment? "I don't believe be c:on fence al all, ma'am," said lhe old lady. I looked surprised nil(] inquisitil·e. The old lndy, becoming more and
more incensed against the Master of De1>0rlmont as she dwelt npon the subject, gnve me some parl'icuJnrs of his c:orcar, with strong nssunmces ibnt lh~y were mildly stated.
He had married a meek little doncing-mist:ress, with n tolerable connexion, (having never in his life before done anything but deport hhusell), and ha<l worked her to deatl1, or had, at the best, suffered her lo work herself to death, to mnintain him in those expenses which were indispe11$nble to his position. At once to exhibit. his Deportment lo the best models, and to koop the best models constnntly before hi.mselr, he had found it necessmy to frequent ull public ploces of foshionoble nnd lounging resort; to be soon nll3rigbton and elsewhere at fasl1ionoble times; and to lead an idle life in the very best clothes. To ennble him to do this, the affeelionnte little dnncing-mistrcss bad toiled ond lnLored, nnd would hove toiled and labored to (bat hour, if her strength hod lasted so long. For, the mniosprini,. or the story wns, t~nt, in spite or the man's al.>sorbin~ selfi~hn~, lns wife (overpowered by Ins Deportment) had, to the Inst, beheved 111 lmn, and hncl, on her death-bed, in the most mo,'ing terms, confided him to their wn as one who had an inextingnishnble claim upon him, nnd whom'ho could never ret,'llrd with too mncl1 pride and deference. 'J'heson, inheriting !tis mother's belief, and ho,iug the Deportment always before him, had lived nnd grown in the snmc faith, ond now, nl lbiriy years of nge, worked for his father twch•e ho1<rs a-day, and looked up lo him witl, ,·enerntion on the old imaginary pinnacle.
u ,.l'he airs t-hc fello,v gh•es hllnsclf1 ° snid my inrormant) 3haking he.r head nt old Mr. Turveydrop witb speechless indignation as he d,rew ou his tight "loves : of course unconscious of the bomogc she wns rendering. "lle fully believes he is one of tho nristocraoyl .\n,1 he is so condescending to tho son he so egregiously deludes, that you mig_ht suppose him the most ,•irtuous of parents. 0 !" said the old la<1y, npostrophiaing him with infinite vchemenoo, "I could bite you!"
I co1,ld not help being amused, though I heard the old Indy out with feelings of real concern. It was di!licnlt to doubt her, with the rothor and son before me. Wl,nt I might have thought of them "i thont the old lady's "ccount, or what I might have thought of tho old Indy's account without them, l cannot say. '!'here was n fitness of things in tho whole thot carried co1wiction with it.

" A Indy so groeeful nnd necomplished," he sniil, kissing !tis right glove, nnd nfterwnrdB extending it townrm the pupils, "will look lc1\ionlly on tho deficie:neies here. We do our best to polisl,-polishpolish ! "
He s.;t down beside me; Inking some pains to sit on the form, I thought, in imitation or the print of bis illustrious model on the sofa. And renlly he did look very like it.
"'fo polish-polish-polish ! " he repente<l, tnking n pinch of snuff nnd gently fluttering his fingers. "B11t we nre nol-if I may say so, to one fonned to be groeeful both by Nnll>re nnd Art;" with the higl1-shouldered bow, whiel1 it seemecl im'(lossible for him to mnke without Jining op his oyebro\\·s and shutting his eyes-" \\'C ore not ,vhut ,ve used to be in point of Deportment."

do, to a very limited extent, in bis ernvnt. "A levelling age is not fn,·oroble to Deportment. It develops vulgnrity. Perhaps I speak with some little partiality.

Caddy told me lbnt her lover's c<l11cntiori had ~n so neglected, that it was 001 olways easy to rencl bis notes. She said, if he were not so nnxions about his spelling, nml took less pains to make it cleor. he would do belt er; but he put so many wmcoossary letters into short words, that they sometimes quite lost their :English appearance. "He does it 11•itb the best intentions," obscr1•ed Caddy, "but it hnsn't the effect he means, poor fellow!" Caddy then went 011 to reason, bow could be be expected lo be a scholar, when he bad passed his whole life in tho dancing-school, and had done noU,ing but teach and fag, fog and tench, morning, noon, and night! And what did it matter? She conlil write letters enough (or both, as she knew to her cost, and it was far belier for liim to be amiable than le.'lrlle<l.

"And what do you eall these litlle fellows, m•'am?" said he in his pleasant voice. "Have tl1ey any names?"
"I can answer for Miss Flite that they have," said I, " for sho promised to tell us what they were. ,\da remembers?"

CHAPTER XV.
BELL )'ARD,
W1m& we were in London, i\fr. Jamdyee was constantly beset by the crowd of exeit«ible Indies and gentlemen whose proceedings had so mu.eh nstooishc<I us. Mr. Q,unlc, who presented himself soon after our nrri\'al, wns in all such excitements. llc seemed to project those two shining knobs of temples of bis into everything that went on, and to brush his hoir far!J:ter nod fnrther back, until the very roots were almost ready to fly out of his bead in innppcasnble philanthropy. All objects were alike to him, but l,e was always particularly ready for anything in the wny of a teslirooninl to nny one. His great power seet11e<l to be his power of indiscrimiuntc admiration. He would sit, for nny length of time, with the utmost enjoyment, bnthil1g his temples in the light of nny order of lumi11a.ry. Hn,ing li.rst seen him perfectly swallowed up in admiration of Mrs. Jellyby, I ha<l supposed her lo be U,e absorbing object of his de,•otion. I soon disco"ered my mistake, and found hini to be train-bearer an<l ol'!tnn-blower to a whole proCC$Sion of people.
°};1rs. Pnrcliggle c,,me one day for• subscription lo somctlting-n nd with her, Mr. Quale. What.ever Mrs. Pnrdig"le said, Mr. Q,uale re1>ented to us; and j1tst ns he hod clrnwn Mrs. Jcllyby ont, he drew Mrs. J'nrdigglo out. Mrs. Pordiggle wrote n letter or introduction lo my Gunr<linn, in behalf of boreloquentfriend, M.r. Gusher. With i\fr. Gushei:,•Jlpearcd Mr. Quale again. Mr. Gusher, being n flabby genllemau with• moist surface, and eyes so much too smnll for his moon of n face thnt they seemed to have been originnlly made for somebody else, wns not nt first sight preJ>osscssing ; yet, he was scnrcely seated, before Mr. Quale asked Ado and me, not inn11dibly, whethc, be was not n gr«it ercnturo- which be certnully wns, flabbily speaking; though Mr Qunle meant in intellectual benut,v-n nd wbcfhcr we were not struck by his massive confii;urotion o brow? Ju short, we heard of a g,·cat mnny Missions of vnnous sorts, among Ibis set of J>COple; but, nothing respecting them wns b,,lf so clear to us, as that it was 1\lr. Q,ualc's tnisoion to b-0 i>t eestacies with e"erybody else's mission, and that it was tho most popular mission or all.
)ir. Jnmdycc hml fnlleu into this company, in the tenderness of his J,cnrt and his earnest desire to do nil the good in his power; but, that he felt it lo be too often an unSl•lisfa'clory company, where bcne,.olenoo took spasmodic forms; where charity wns nsswncd, ns a regnlnr uniform, by loud professors and spccnlntors w cl,cnp notoriety, vehement in profession, rcsUcss and "nin in action, sen•ilc in the lost degree of mounness to the grent, nclulatory of one ,mother, and intolernble to those who werean,ious <1nictly lo help 11,e weak from falling, rather than with n great deal of bhtstcr 1md self-lnudntion to raise them up n little way when thoy were <lown; he plainly told us. Wl1cn n tcstin1oninl was originated to M.r. Qunlc, by Mr. Gusher (who lind nlrendy i;ot one, originated by Mr. Q,nnl~). nnd wheu :lfr. Gusher spoke for nu Jiour nud a half on the subject to a

I mention lltis, hec.,use I nm coming lo )[r. Skimpole again. It seemed to me, that his oft'-hand professions of ehildishnl:SS and carelessness ,vcro a g-1'Cat relief lo my gunr<linn, by contro.sl "ith such thinga, and ,vere t-he more rcnclily believed in; since, to find one perfectly undesigning and cr1.1.ldid n1an, a1nong Jnnny OJ>posites, could not fail to gi\'C hit11 1,leos11rc. 1 should be sorry to imply that '.\Lr. Skimpole divined this, and wns politic: l really never un<lerstoo<l him well enough to know. Whnt he was to lll) ' Guonlinn, he certainly WM lo the rest of the world.
lie hnd not boon very well ; nnd thus, though he lived io London, we lwd seen nothing of him until now. He appear~-d one morning, in his usua l agreeable wny, and ns full of ple.,snnt spirits as e1•er.
WeU,bcsnid, here he was! He had been bilious, bntrich men were ofien bilious, an<l lhcreforc he hod been persuading himself that he wM a mon of property. So he wns, in a certain point of view-in his expansive intcn· tions. He l1ad been enrichh1<> his medical attendant in the most ln,·ish manner. Uc bad al"·nys do1:iilcd, ond sometimes qn.idruplcd, his fees. Ho had so.id lo tbe doctor, "Now, my deor doctor, ii is quite a delusion on your part to sup1>0se that you attend me for uothing. I om over· whelming you "ith money-in my ex1,onsh·e intentions-if you only knew it!" And really (11c said) ho meant it lo that degree, thnt he thougM it m11el1 the same as doing it. If he hnd had tl1osc bits or metal or tl1in paper to which mankind attached so nn,ch importance, lo }JUI in the doctor's bnncl, he would have put them in the doctor's lurnd. Not ho,·ing them, he subslitu.te<l the will for the tlee<l. Very well! If he really meont it-if his will were genuine and ,-c,,J: wbicb it wns-it oppeorcd to ' 1,in1 tl,ot it was the some as coin, and cancelled the obligation.
"It may be, partly, because I know nothing of the value of money," s.1id Mr. Skimpole, "but I often fool lltis. It seems so reasonable! My butcher says to me, he wants thnt liUle bill. It's a part of the pleasant unconscious poetry of the mon's nnt11re, that he nl,\1nys cnlls it, n 'Jittlc, !Jill-to make the payment appc.1r easy lo both of us. I reply to the butcher, My good friend, if you knew iL rou arc 1mid. You h3veu't lrnd ihe trouble of coming to ask for ihe Jittlo bill. You nre pnid. I lncnn it"
"l3nt, supJ>OSC," snid n,y Gunrdiou, laughing, ''he had n1caut.. tbc mcnt in Ilic bill, instead of providing it?"

and <lo, really mt.111 the money without pnying it!' He bod not a word. There wus au end of th.e subject."
"Did he tnkc no lcgnl proceedings?" iDquircd my Guardian. "Yes, he took lc.,"lll proceedings," said )ir . Skimpolc. "Bot, in that,
be wns influenced by passion; not by reason. Passion reminds me of lloythorn. lle writes me that you and the lames luwe p1-on1IBCd hiln n short visit at his bacbelor•houso iu 1,incolnshil:e."
u lie is u grcnt. fi,vorile "'ith lny girls," said )Ir . Jnrndycc, "and I ho,•c promised for them."
·• Nuturc forgot to shade him off, I think?" obser,·ed Mr. Skunpole to Adn nud me. "A little too boisterous-like the sen? A little too vcbement.-Likc n bull, who has mode up l,is miJl!I to consi<le~ every color scarlet.? Bui, I grant a sledge-hammering sort of anerH in h.im !'"
I should hn,•c been su~riscd if those two coul<l b3''C thougl1t Tery highly of one another; :Ur. Jloythom oltnching so much importance to maoy things, untl Mr. Skimpole caring so little for nn~·thiog. llesides which, I hnd noticed Mr. 13oythorn more than once on the point of bronkiug out into some slrong opinion, ,\·hen )lr. -$kiJn.J>0lc \\'as referred to. Of co1trSO I merely joined Ada in ,aving tlUit we h:id boon greatly pleased with him. · ·

Sir Leicester is, pctlt011s, not wholly without on impX<lSSion, though ho hos never resolved it into words, tbnt the ougel of clc.,llt in the diseluuic o( t,is neoossory duties may observe lo the shades of the aristocracy, "My lords nnd genllomcu, I hove the honor to present to you unoth.er Dedloek certified to J,a,•e arrived JI-Or the family gout."
Hence, Sit Leicester yields up his fomily legs to the fnmily disorder, as if he hcl,l his name nnd fortune on thol foudol tenure. 11,e fools, that for o Dedlock to be lni<l upon his l,3ck nnd spasmodically twitched ond stnbbed in his extremities, is a liberty tnkcn somewhere ; btit, he thinks, " We hove oU yielded to this; it belongs to us; it hns, for some bundreds of years, boon understood that we are not to rnuke the vaults in the pnrk interesting ou more ignoble tenns ; nnd I submit 1nysclf to the compron1isc."
And u goodly show he makes, lying in a Oush of crimson and gold, iu the midst of the g,·cat dmwi»g-1·001n, before his fo,•odte picture of mv Lady, with bron,l strips of sunlight shining in, down the long perspecth·e, through tl,e loi,g lino of windows, m,d nlternnling with soft .reliefs of shndow. Outside, the stalely onks, rooted for ages in lbc green ground wlueh hos never known ploughshare, but was still a Chase when king$ rode to battle will, sword md shield, an<l ,rode a ltunting with bow nud arrow; boar witness to bis greatness. Inside, his forefotl,ers, looking on him from the walls, say, "Each of us wns a passing reality here, and left this colored sbndow o( himself, ni,d melted into remembrance as ,lrcaml' ns the distant voices of the rooks now lullliig you to rest;" aud bear ihcir testimony to his greatness loo.

She hos flitted nwny to town, with no fotcntiou of rcmninin~ there, mul will soon flit hither agnin, to the confusion of the foshionnble mtclligence. 'l'he house in town is not prepnrcd for her reception. It is mullle<l and <Jrcary. Only one Mercury in powder, gapes disco11solate at tl1e hall";ndow; and he mentioned lruit night to another Mercury of his ncquaintnnce, also accustomed to good societ.v, that . if tl,at sort of thing wM lo last,-which it couldn't, for n man of his spirits couldn't bear it, nnd n man of Iris figure couldn't be expected to beat il,-thero would be no resource for ltim, upon his honor, but to cut his throat !
What connexion con there be, between the place in Lincolnshire, the house in town, the Mercury in powder, nnd tl,e whereabout, of Jo the outlaw with the broom, who bad that distant rny of light upon him when he swept the churchyard-step? What conn.,x,ion can there hn~e been between many people in the innumerable histories of this world, who, from opposite sides of great gulfs, have, nevertheless, been very curiously brought together !
Jo sweeps his crossing nil dny long, wiconseious of the link, if nny link there be. He sums up his mental con<liliou, when asked n (IUCStion, hy rep~;ng that he "don't k-now nothink ." He knows that it's hnr(l to keep the mutl oft' t.he crossing in dirty weather, nnd harder still to lire by doing it. Nobody taught him, eren lhot much; he folmd it out.
Jo lives-thnt is to say, Jo has no: yet djed-in n ruinous place, known to the like of him by the nnme of lom-nll -alone's. It is n black, dilnpi· doted street, avoide,l by nil decent people; where the crazy houses were seized upon, when their decoy wos for ndvonced, by some bold ,·ngrnnts,. who, nner cstnblishing their own possession, took to letting them out in lodgings . Now, these tmnbling tenements conlnin, by night, n ,warm of misery. As, on lhc ruined humnn "'retch, vermin pnmsitcs np1>enr, so, these ruined shelters have bred a crowd of foul existcnee that crow.ls in nml 0111 of gaps in walls nnd boards; ,md coils il.!elf to sleep, in maggo~ number!!, whore the roiu drips in; nud comes and goes, fetching nnd carrying fever, ond sowing more evil in its ov~ry footprint lhnn Lord Goodie, nnd Sir Thomas Doodle, and the Duke of Foodie, nn,lall lho fine gentlemen in office, down to Zootllc, shall set right in Ji\'11 bundrecl years-though born expressly to do it.
Twice, lt1lely, there hns been n crssh ancl a doucl of ,lust., like the springing of a 1ninc., in To1n•nll•alonc's; and, each tian~ n house has foll.en. These occident, hove mndc o paragraph in the newspapers, an<l htwe fille<l a bed or two in the nearest hospital. 'l11e gnps rcmnin, nnd there are not unpopular lodgings nmong the rubbish . As sevcml more houses ure nearly ready to go, the next ernsh in 'l'om-all-nlonc's mny bc expected to be n good 0110.
'J'his tlesirnblo property is in Chancery, of course. It would be on insult lo the discernment of ouy 111011 with hnlf nn O)'C, to tcll him so.

TO THE ELECTORS AND NON-ELECTORS OF TS:S
UNITED KINGDOM.
F ELLOW -COUNTRYMEN,-ln a •hort timo yo11 will bo in• volved in all tho bustle of a GElIERAL ELECTION. All>hough
the limitations of tho Frnnc~ will loavo t.110 great majority of yon in tho position 9f spectato>'S mtber than of actorn in the GREA<J;' NATIONAL DRAMA, yet it will be impossible for nny ":'an of patriotic fcofu,gs to avoid being drawn within the vortex of excit-Oment. It is highly necessary, that those of you who are electors, shou\d be in a condition to judgo C<>.lmly llnd discriminate nccurat-Oly between cont-Ondi,og Ctlndidates ; but it is not less essential that those to whoso seniunents the Constitution bas not' rul'orded this vent, sho,ud have sorue other means of preserving self-control.
Since, on tho one hand, ovCNlxcitomeut of tho mind jg apt t,o induce disease of the body, while, ou the other, physical health is nbsolutcly requisite to the \\-ise exercise of the mental faculties, my ~ctfu l counsel t<> all parties i~, instantly to pt•ep,'ttO themselves for the COML'.G STRUGGLE , by pu,·if11i"!J tlu, c(1rrt1>t ef 1M blood, by c,x1U11f: t/11! •llfle"~ and as u consequence of these compos(rrg t/v, mi,ul, 1»ul nerving th• wlw/4 man e,, 7X'4>·ioUc al:liim.

I call upon .ilfi,ri,,. tArialut,; to mirustor to their owu comfort, o.s !,ho best menus of enabling· tJ,em to consult tlte nation's welfare; upon OpJJO$Ui<misls to ,·emove :,JI" obst1·octiona in their O\~n $JSfOtn ; UJ)OU J' .. ou,ctio»i,,t,;' to pi-otect Lhe~\'CS Crom the nume,-ous liabilities of disease ; upon F .. ~ !i'wulcr8 to kcop' Op!IU" the gron,l human pas!lllgC, as woU as " tho higl"'"'Y of o.ntious ; " upon (Jpn. : urvati,.,. t.i conserve all thao m.,kes life vnluoblo aud scciety hn~py ;·and upon Jwdic{J!, Re/orm,;rs t<> strike at tbe rool<l of evil in themselves. Wluttcve1· diJforonce.s there 'may be on other points, all ni-o agreed, that R••·o'Rit, end where it may, should B&01N A~ 110,u:.
Whet:,;, then, it will be asked, sl1nll we find this g,-e~t DOl\iES'.l.'IC MEDICIN:El1' Gentlemen, it is not for any individual to dictate yo,u• ohoioo. Here, at least, you al'O all 6:oe and OU n level. On thus -point \\'C
